al-Urdun or Jordan :)

salam and morning..
just arriving from petra and dinner at Municipality of Marj

well...petra will be on another post
after all
wanna appologive for lack and late update from here
i'm to busy in exploring the Hashimate Kingdoms of Jordan
cewahhh
it really is
the day start at 5.30am in morning
the road and honking are being busy till late nite
we were began our day as late 7am and being home at 8pm
and i being so tired to walk to nearest net cafe :-P
oh well
do you know that al-Urdun or Jordan in english is third world country?
yet it has high exchange rate which
RM 5 equal to JD 1
#_# it just like u xchange the RM to GBP
here...
signal wasnt necessary then honking
u cant blame people if keep honkin you
and u cant get made if other driver having a crazy circle in roundabout without signal lamp
and people in road, having their lengang kankung walk
because this is their style :)
honking is a must here
so keep glue your hand in ur mobile honk :-P

Municipality of the greatest shows it was a district while Municipality of .... show it was a village having small town..

Jordan is having four seasons in a year. now it was winter and thankfully there was no snow on the road. Snows only fall in 2 states which is in Mu'tah and Mazar :)

seeking rice to eat? therefore u must looking a restaurant with smoke chicken :) otherwise u end up eating shawarma and falafel.. this 2 meal is a famous meal in Jordan and qahwah was a favorite drinking other than a'sir :)

if u planning to be in here, i advising you to have a acquaintance or u better making friends with Malizi studying here.. this is because, having a student card or acquaintance is greater chance because you will having a 15x reduce in any cost
for example
we are now staying in rumah Negeri Sembilan which was stated in Mu'tah. Mu'tah was choose because it was a familiar place for Hunny Bee V since he was lived here before.. staying in rumah Negeri Sembilan without any related to its member will cost you JD 7 a day, which is RM 40 per day. yes i know, some of u will say.. ohh that so cheap enuf, why we shud have any relate to it.. oh yes u need it.. because, Hunny Bee V nephew was an committe member and we are charged only JD 1 per day which mean RM 5 a day :)
now, see the different ?
ticket for Petra entrance.. my goodness!! JD 15 perhead if u r foreigner and visitor.. can u calculate me the cost? it was RM 75 perhead.. headacheee... borrowing students id card from friend of nephew give us JD 1 for the entrance.. what a wonderful day :)

able to speak in arab a'mmi is a great deal because, Jordan second language is French.. both me an Hunny Bee V hahahahaha.. unable to speak and understand French at all.. unles yo so no :-P  :) thanks to Hunny Bee V for being my translator all the way :)

it was left sided driver in Jordan :) there is alot of public transport type here.. from coaster, serfis, taxi and buss.. coaster is a small buses that fit for 15 passenger.. serfis, just like taxi, white in color and design to go to a destination, which is taxi was in yellow, design to follow passenger destination..

taking a rental car is greate rather than having van rental.. van rental, u r having a driver that driving you anywhere you want. but remind you, our first day already bloom to pay a van servis for JD 40 = RM 200 in an hour journey from Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) to Mu'tah :-<
but, JD 45 was paid for 4days car rental or JD 18 for a day, which is in Malaysia the cost is standard for a day rental for Proton, but here our ride was Automatic Hyundai Assent :)

the car hirer will asked u for your passport for guarantee.. but we giving out our JD 200 for security.. you can call me crazy if we giving out our passport. oh yes, they are accepting Malaysia driving license.. that JD 200 will be deducted if the car return in different condition as record...
i hope so not!!!!

here, they have reverse song for reverse gear..haha.. but not all of them use it..

eventhou Jordan is 3rd world country, lacking in economic development .. er i mean.. only in Amman u'll see a shopping complex but not in their distict.. betwen destination, you'll experience desserts desserts and more desserts... the land soil are coming with rocks lotsa rock.. dust.. i think we off the track already, yet on the road, there is no Proton, Perodua products, sob sob.. the famous car was Peugot, Hyundai and KIA.. mercedes benz, mitsubishi and another great car :)
oh well thats for now
i'll try to update more in sooon
:-"


from QAIA to Mu'tah
